I think I only asked for it for my DD1 (she’s 8 now) when she was 1 or 2.

I am a new member of this forum, having been prompting with a problem recently. Hope kind soul out here can enlighten me.

The problem is my 15mth old daughter is going for MMRV injection soon, but after hearing so many cases of high fever etc I can't help being worry. Had tried to check with GP regarding the probability of having fever between MMR and MMRV and it turn out the percentage is almost the same. As my gal just recover from fever recently, I had delay the vaccination till Jun. The problem now is I am thinking whether should I go for MMR injection and then chicken pox vaccination separately or must go for MMRV which mean include the chicken pox. The different is MMR + Chicken pox need total of 4 injections but I heard the side effect is not as strong as MMRV. But MMRV only need 2 injections. Furthermore, MMR is compulsory but not chicken pox vacination. So can we take chicken pox injection like when she is older like 2 or 3 years old?

Very confused by all these vaccination, anyone out there can advice me. Thanks in advance. :oops:

My girl is very active. She only will sit down when she finds some books interesting to her. or else, she will just walk around the whole house looking for something to play. Now, she does not play with her toys. Just exploring. So sometimes, we very headache, dunno what to do. :?


:lol: I know what you mean! I used to rotate my gals toys. Sometimes set A, sometimes set B, C... to her it's like wah new toys!! πŸ˜‰

After awhile I realized she was more happy playing with non-toys stuff.. like my empty containers, bottles, boxes, ladles, measuring spoons, forks and spoons etc.. So save money on buying toys.. πŸ˜›

I also assigned a drawer in the kitchen for all these things they are allowed (read safe) to play with and of course after that these ladles, containers etc assigned purely for play only.. they think they get to use exact same thing as mummy and can get it themselves from the kitchen drawer somemore... - so very happy.. :lol:

Also I'm a karang-guni mama.. I like to keep toilet-rolls, bottle caps (even from Juice boxes), boxes of different shapes and sizes even a plastic bag or 2 from Pampers/Diapers.. etc. πŸ˜‰ Then we'll make crafts together.. our personal absolute fav is a car we made out of a small box (for a name cardholder), cut to have seting space, wind screen (used some hard plastic from handphone box) and essense chicken caps for wheels.. oh.. also the juice bottle caps as front and back lights.. we made 2 actually.. one of it is seating dearly in her principal's office with a stuff toy doggie as the driver! :love:

oh and yes, lots of painting.. err.. not that there is any specific pictures.. I'll just put a big piece of paper (like mahjong paper) on the floor.. they'll be happily splattering it with whatever colour they like with no specific form.. sometimes they'll paint their feet and palm and start to chop on the paper.. but gotta clear up the mess lah.. so this is only done before shower time.. πŸ˜‰

I'll update again if I can remember more... hope some may come in handy for you.. πŸ˜„

Thanks. Now, my girl's favourite place is kitchen. She always sees her grandmother stay in the kitchen taking the pot cooking. she also wants to join in. Now, my mother always complain to me that she really does not what to do to my girl, only on the educational program to keep her quiet. I told her cannot let her watch too much tv but no choice as my mother looks after my girl alone. 😐

RRMummy:
Hi Angela,


How did everything go?
Thanks, everything goes fine. The nurse advised us to monitor her for the next 8 days for any fever. She also prescribed me the medicine. If got fever, let her take. If after taking the fever, the temperature still very high, must see the doctor immediately.

Today, she never cried very loud. Maybe she is big already, know how to control.

Good one! :celebrate: It is true tt
we can influence the mood of our
babies. At least my mom used to
say, that during my pregnancy...
i shouldn't cry or try not to be so
sad even if it's hormonal cos the
baby when it's born may come
out a cry baby.. weh weh.. 😒

No worries, Angela... your dear
bb will be fine! πŸ˜‰

angela:
Whenever she has injection, the day before the injection, she will behave very strangely. Will wake up in the midnight or cry with no reason. Today, she is like that again. Sometimes, we think she knows the date of appointment.


Ha! Ha! Ha!

:lol:
I think it's becos you are nervous/anxious so your child picks up the vibes and gets cranky too. So you must first relax yourself then prepare to do whatever you know will calm her down. ^_^

I hope that she will not cry so loud. :oops:

Does anyone know about pneumococcal vaccine? Did any mother bring their kids to have this injection? What is this injection about? Is it compulsory?

Thanks

Nothing doctor can do for her rashes. Doc said some children got it after this jab. NORMAL.

Before any jab, I will tell them it is going to hurt a little but mummy is sorry they have to take it coz it will make them healthy and strong.. then promise them a bribe..sometimes it's nen-nen also.. πŸ˜‰


uhmm, the other thing to take care is the soreness.. the nurses in the polyclinic always reminds me to press very firmly for a few minutes directly after the jab to minimize the swelling.. yup and they also recommend that I administer paracetamol once I get home even before any onset of fever..

It's like a way of them responding to it.
After a few experiences with the jabs,
we will give the Dhamol (Paracetamol)
right after the jab. No crankiness or
lingering cries then. Oh yes, and right
after the medication, i quickly open my
buffet table - ie. breast milk... :lol:

Even if they were crying, they would
fall asleep soon after. πŸ˜‰

Dunno about others, but guess this
worked for me. Especially since i
had to bring the girls to the poly
clinic on my own most of the time... πŸ˜›
